I'm back, in case you hadn't heard!

For posterity, and for my own amusement, I'll be posting pics of my fabulous weekend in "nature" in a day or two, once I have the pictures. N is sending them to me on disc in the mail. I can assure you though, that a good time was had by all.

Upon my return home, I had a creepy, spooky, ooky Halloween card waiting from ds1972. So thanks, punk!
Also waiting for me were several job leads from my job developer. She informs me that Quality 16 is hiring *LOL*. Yeah, I'll rush right over there to interview...
Happily, there were also some good leads. So I'll be doing that most of the day tomorrow. And I think I have a new tarot client coming over. Or should I say...a new tarot querent. Ho ho hahahaha! Now that's comedy, people. Anyway, that will be good. I only have about 4 regular clients and I'd like to have more.

I found out later that I'm finally going to see Night of the Living Dead: The Musical which I thought I hadn't heard about, but then remembered that I had. Supposedly, it has Billy West in it. I wonder if that's prolific cartoon voiceover guy Billy West; or just some impostor. We shall see. I guess N's brother is working on the show as well, in some sort of sound capacity. N has this brother ho is sort of rude and standoffish, but he's hot. Weird, that. Anyway, they are encouraging people to dress up. So, time once again to dust off the 'ol zombie costume. Haven't broken that baby out since I went to see Land of the Dead. Hopefully this musical will be slightly less ridiculous. Has anyone listened to the commentary on LotD, BTW? I haven't yet and I'm hoping it will iron out what I consider some of the rough spots in that movie. I own it and like it and all that...but I think Romero was pushing the whole "suspension of disbelief" this time around. Those zombies learned awfully quick.

Today I made H and I a nice lunch of sausages and waffles. They were the best waffles I have ever eaten in my whole life. Why? Because I used ( Alton Brown's Waffle Recipe )

Fabulous!!

I also slept a lot upon my return home. Fresh air makes me damn tired. That probably means I don't get nearly enough of it. Go figure...

Dang.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Rosa Parks, the black seamstress whose refusal to give her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to a white man sparked a revolution in American race relations, died on Monday at age 92.

Shirley Kaigler, Parks' lawyer, said she died while taking a nap early on Monday evening surrounded by a small group of friends and family members.

"She just fell asleep and didn't wake up," Kaigler said.

The cause of death was not immediately known. Parks had fought a long battle with dementia.

Kaigler said Parks was at home in an apartment complex overlooking the Detroit River and the border with Ontario, Canada, when she died.

I met Rosa Parks once when I was still a college student. I remember that she was most unassuming, very friendly and pleased that some students had come to see her. After she was robbed in, I think, 1993, I received card from her family in response to the card I sent wishing her well. Like everyone else (except my wierd friend Finster) I was horrified that someone would beat up and rob Rosa Parks.

For the record, I don't think she meant to inspire people into political and social rebellion, I think she was just tired and wanted to sit down. Being on your feet all day sucks. And I think some rebellion would have come along sooner or later. Seriously, how long were people going to put up with Klansmen on judicial benches and cops beating-up people just because they are black? Okay, I guess that still happens, but many more people are outraged when they find out about it. My point is, she was held up as an example of fighting the man and she inspired a lot of people to do likewise. We should all make such an impact on people, just by doing what we do everyday.
